Ex-Mayor of Minusinsk and His Deputy Case to Be Tried in Court
In Minusinsk, Investigators Wrap Up Probe Against Former Mayor and Deputy
Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of a juicy scandal unfolding in Minusinsk. The city's ex-bigwigs, the mayor and his deputy, are facing charges for misusing their authority. The ball is now in the court of justice, as the evidence is soon to be handed over.
The probe revealed that back in October 2023, the city hall allocated a targeted subsidy of 40 million rubles to MUP "Minusinsk City Municipal Enterprise." A significant portion of this dough was earmarked to settle an overdue debt owed to a firm responsible for collecting and disposing of hazardous waste.
The mayor, Andrey Pervukhin, issued instructions to the head of the MUP to bypass the debt payment and ink deals with other waste transporters instead. The gist of the situation, according to the investigators, is that a group of officials channeled the funds designated for specific waste transporters to other, more favored transporters, whose debts didn't fall under the category covered by the subsidy.
As a result, around 15 million rubles were squandered in ways other than intended.
Now, the files of this case have been forwarded to the prosecutor's office to greenlight an indictment and ship it off to court.
